This patch ensures that when `nvme_map_data()` fails to map the
addresses in a scatter/gather list:

* The addresses are not incorrectly unmapped. The underlying
scatter/gather code unmaps the addresses after detecting a failure.
Thus, unmapping them again in the driver is a bug.
* The DMA pool allocations are not deallocated when they were never
allocated.

The bug that motivated this patch was the following sequence, which
occurred within the NVMe driver, with the kernel flag `swiotlb=force`.

* NVMe driver calls dma_direct_map_sg()
* dma_direct_map_sg() fails part way through the scatter gather/list
* dma_direct_map_sg() calls dma_direct_unmap_sg() to unmap any entries
  succeeded.
* NVMe driver calls dma_direct_unmap_sg(), redundantly, leading to a
  double unmap, which is a bug.

Before this patch, I observed intermittent application- and VM-level
failures when running a benchmark, fio, in an AMD SEV guest. This patch
resolves the failures.
I think the right way to fix this is to just do a proper unwind insted
of calling a catchall function.  Can you try this patch?
Done. It works great, thanks! Shall I send out a v2 with what you've proposed?

Do you think it's worth hoisting this sg unmap snippet into a helper
that can be called from both here, as well as nvme_unmap_data()?
